About Rootvest
We're building a new way for local businesses and investors to grow together, keeping value and ownership rooted in the community.
Rootvest is a new way for local businesses to raise capital by offering investment opportunities directly to individuals who want to support and share in their growth. Instead of relying on banks or large institutions, businesses can tap into a network of engaged locals who believe in their potential.
For investors, Rootvest opens access to a part of the market that's traditionally hard to reach—early-stage, local businesses with strong growth potential. Our aim is to keep value and ownership local, providing a smarter, more personal way to grow.
Our Mission
To democratize angel investing by connecting ambitious local businesses with engaged community investors. We believe the best opportunities often exist right in our own neighborhoods, and we're making it easier for everyone to participate in local economic growth.
Our Vision
A future where local communities are economically resilient and self-supporting. Where successful businesses are owned by the people who care most about them, and where anyone can become an angel investor in the businesses they believe in.
